The research reports the results and investigations made on 20/1 cotton hosiery yarn and knitted fabric to evaluate the effect of different conditioning methods on the mechanical and comfort properties of yarn and fabric, namely, bursting strength, moisture management, thermal conductivity, air permeability, skewness, stiffness, and pilling. The fibers spun on a ring spinning system were investigated as yarn according to ASTM standards. From the results it is concluded that the knitted fabric made from machine conditioning has better mechanical and comfort properties than fabric made through unconditioned and room conditioned yarns.
